About the role
Anyscale is commercializing Ray, a popular open-source project creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning, with Ray in production at companies like OpenAI, Uber, Spotify, Instacart, and Cruise. As the company scales, its need to detect and respond to security events across production and corporate environments is growing. This high-ownership role owns detection engineering and the detection pipeline, runbooks, and incident response across cloud, endpoint, container, and runtime telemetry, reporting to the Head of Security and partnering with engineering.
What you will do
- Own and build detection coverage across cloud, endpoint, and runtime telemetry.
- Own a centralized correlation and alerting capability that turns telemetry into actionable detections.
- Own incident response: runbooks, escalation paths, and coordination during an incident, across corporate and production environments.
- Drive detection of anomalous activity across the environments we run, including our Kubernetes footprint.
- Tune detections to keep signal high and noise low, and measure detection and response performance such as mean time to detect and respond.
- Run incident retrospectives and feed lessons back into detections and controls.
- Partner with infrastructure security and IT to close gaps surfaced during response.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 6+ years in security, with a strong focus on detection engineering and incident response, ideally at a high-growth startup.
- Hands-on experience building detections and correlation across cloud (AWS, Azure), endpoint (EDR), and ideally container and runtime telemetry.
- Experience owning incident response end to end, including leading during live incidents.
- Comfort building and scaling a detection and response capability, not only operating an existing one.
- Sound judgment under pressure and clear communication during incidents.
- Fluency working with engineers and IT to close the gaps that response surfaces.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with SIEM or detection platforms and detection-as-code approaches.
- Familiarity with runtime security tooling such as Upwind or similar.
- Threat hunting or purple-team experience.
- Background in AI or ML platforms or distributed systems.
Benefits and support
- Competitive salary and equity, plus health/dental/vision coverage (many plans up to 99% employer-covered)
- We offer flexible time off, paid parental leave, and mental health support
